Stage Previews

Saint-Pée-sur-Nivelle to Espelette

Stage 20 / Saturday, July 28th

In a perfect world the entire race would come down to the final Individual Time Trial. Most GC riders are very efficient time trialists with Froome being particularly adept. There is one GC rider however who is truly world class in Tom Dumoulin. Much like the Giro de Italia, if the gaps are small between these two, the TT could be a nail biter. Other smaller riders like Quintana will likely need a sizeable lead padded in the mountain stages to hold off more powerful rivals. As we get closer to the race we will do an in depth analysis of the TT course with expected finish times and potential outcomes. Get additional Data-Driven Coverage of the Tour on TrainingPeaks.

We ran the model using the typical pulling power exhibited by a top end TT specialist with extremely low drag numbers. See what you would ride this Time Trial stage in by adjusting the power to 100% of your FTP and setting your own drag numbers on the Time Analysis Tool.

Alert! You will need to update this race before using the Time Analysis feature.

The Time Analysis chart allows you to view the estimated time difference for changes in Power, Drag, Weight and/or Rolling Resistance for the race at both the individual segment level as well as the total cumulative time difference.
